{GBF Style + Beauty} Chateau Marmont

Although I've been to the Chateau Marmont many times after sundown, a visit to the reclusive hotel during daylight hours sheds new light. The Rebecca Minkoff Fall 2014 preview (the framed leather satchels are amazing) was held at the hotel's Bungalow 4, a hidden oasis tucked away deep behind stalks of bamboo and thick foliage reachable only by a narrow flight of stairs. Although only a few feet away from the epicenter of Sunset Blvd, I felt like I had escaped to a place where time and noise are banished exiles. 

Of late, I've been in a boho state of style as I find myself gravitating towards flowy maxis and drapey tunics. I've pinpointed the muse for my new found love affair for the ethereal and amorphous-my hair. Right now, it's the longest it has ever been and simply out of curiosity, I plan on growing it until it turns to straw. The lengthy hair pines and beckons for equally lengthy outfits and no style seems to match its mood and flow better than boho.

However, the length is causing breakage and split ends so I'm vigilantly using moisturizing shampoo and conditioners like L'Oreal Total Repair 5 to stop the damage. It's working as after a week of usage, breakage has ceased to exist while softness abounds with every wash. Plus, the cucumber watermelon scent is fabulous as I find myself smelling my hair throughout the day, an odd habit that I may need to start addressing soon. In all honesty, it's one of the most effective drugstore brand haircare line I've ever used and I can't wait to see how the rest of my hair marathon grows out.
